So many pieces falling into almost perfect alignment for you- in time for help! This as a "I lived it" story w pertinent details is a way to stick in our memories.

I wish you many years of a good life ahead!

I ended up w embolisms (clots in lungs, terrible pain) from probably a leg clot while recovering from a tri fractured ankle. I was in a rehab place.

Eventually there I was in the ICU and was told I could wait (I think) to see if they'd dissolve, but might leave damage, or take the clot buster which had a small chance of causing bleeding.
My dad had had a brain bleed, and ended w serious sshort term memory loss, then dementia over time ?2 years. There's something about my mom (while I was trying to decide) which felt like the other side of the coin in a not good way, but I can't remember right now.

So I felt a bit like between a rock and hard place. I took it, and within 10 mins the nurses could see the improvement on various monitors. This was?14 years ago.
No lingering effects!

A different thing about my mom was she had had 2 mini strokes way earlier w no lasting effects. Thank goodness. So I knew some of the symptoms as i asked her what was happening.

Take care!
